Took a road trip this weekend and decided to get off the interstate and explore some of the side roads. This is what I found. Nothing extraordinary. Just a farm and the morning sun. Next road trip I take – more side trips.

An experiment in HDR (high dynamic range) photography. HDR can let you capture some details that would be difficult to get with a single shot. This is a combination of 3 shots of the moon with an 18-200 zoom lens, f/9, exposures of 1/250 second, 1/500 second, and 1/1250 second. Shots were merged with Photomatix Pro 4.0. Click on the picture to see a larger version of the shot.

I was taking some long exposure shots of the night sky, trying to get the focus right, and a plane flew over. The three lines are the lights on the wingtips and the tail of the plane, and the dots in the lines are the flashes of the lights.
